Since the beginning of the escalation of conflict in Ukraine, the International Organization for Migration has continuously worked alongside the Moldovan Government in readiness and response measures at Moldova’s Points of Entry, Refugee Accommodation Centers, and Health facilities.

In this regard, the IOM Mission to Moldova donated to the Oncology Institute essential medical equipment and specialized medicines. The aid, in the total amount of EUR 237 000 was generously funded by the Government of Japan as part of the project: „Humanitarian assistance in Ukraine and neighboring countries”.

The provided medicines and equipment will assure the continuity of oncological treatment in the Republic of Moldova. Within this action, IOM supports the Ministry of Health and Oncology Institute, particularly through the direct coverage of costs for exceptional medical expenses, and ensures oncological diagnosis and treatment for Ukrainian refugees and TCNs

IOM continues to strengthen the public health system as well as is highly concerned with the well-being and movement of the refugee and migrant population.
